I think like 98% of mobile games are pretty much trash, but there are some diamonds in the rough.
In the past I’ve enjoyed:
- Monument Valley
- 2048
- Fruit Merge
- Hashi
- Papers Please
- Baba is You
- Balatro
I’m getting bored of my usual picks lately. I’m looking for something that’s quick to jump in and out to pass the time, not something heavy. But hard puzzles or strategy totally fit!
Is the FF Tactics port good? Better alternatives?


I’m not playing much on Android, but I have enjoyed Open Sudoku, and I was surprised Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is free on Android, which I enjoyed on PC.
I can second Open Sudoku. Not only is it FOSS and it lets you download more puzzles from wherever, but it’s actually the best implementation of mobile Sudoku I’ve played imo.
